If a brew/boil time is set and the Coffeemaker/kettle has not been prepped to brew, there is feedback within 1-2 minutes that the appliance could not start due to no water. If other items like coffee or the carafe are missing the coffee maker will still continue to brew. Please verify prior to brewing/boiling that everything is prepped.

The Coffeemaker/Kettle should appear on your list of available networks. It can take two (2) minutes for the Coffeemaker/Kettle to establish a connection with your router. To help this process please force close all app’s running on your connected device

Over time, calcium deposits or "scale" may build up in your brewer. Scale is nontoxic but if left unattended can hinder brewer performance. Regularly descaling your brewer helps to maintain quality coffee as well as the lifespan of the heating element, and other internal parts that come in contact with water throughout the brew process.

To make the descaling process as effortless as possible, an Auto Clean™ system has been programmed into your coffeemaker.

When is it time to Auto Clean™?

After every 60 cycles, you will receive a notification on your smart device alerting you it is time to descale your coffeemaker. Under the settings section of the app you can toggle the notification on and off and track how many brews until the next descaling is required.

How do I use Auto Clean™?

Follow the simple steps below. Your coffeemaker will take care of the rest.

Fill the water reservoir approximately half-way with white vinegar.

Fill the remaining half of the reservoir with cool water.

Place a paper basket filter into the brew basket, close the lid and place the empty carafe onto the carafe plate.

Press the "Run Auto Clean™" button on you app to begin the descaling process.

Leave the unit to Auto Clean™ for approximately 60 minutes.

You will receive a notification alerting you Auto Clean™ has finished.

Discard the liquid in the carafe.

Using water only, run a minimum of two full brew cycles through your coffeemaker.

Wash, rinse and dry each removable piece of your coffeemaker (see the General Cleaning section of this guide for specific instructions).
